No, but having consistent coaching to refine your game is valuable. Coaches prioritize performance, tournament results, and potential over who your coach is.
Yes! International players are common on U.S. college golf teams. Make sure to ready your tournament results, handicap, and highlight video, and prepare to meet NCAA requirements too.
Email coaches directly with a brief introduction, your tournament resume, handicap, academic stats (GPA, SAT/ACT scores), and a link to your highlight video. Crimson will help you directly make relationships with coaches.
Include footage of your swing from multiple angles (driver, irons, short game, and putting), as well as a few on-course shots. Keep it short (3-5 minutes) and high-quality.
You must meet minimum GPA and standardized test score requirements and register with the NCAA Eligibility Center. Division III schools often focus on academic performance to a greater degree.
Golf scholarships are often partial as teams have limited budgets. Division I men's programs historically had 4.5 scholarships per team, while women's programs had 6, but scholarship caps are to be removed in DI come later 2025. Division II and NAIA schools may offer similar or smaller packages.
Coaches evaluate tournament performance, consistency, mental toughness, and how you handle pressure. They also consider academics, attitude, and coachability.
Compete in highly ranked junior tournaments, such as AJGA (American Junior Golf Association), state championships, or USGA qualifiers. Coaches often scout these events.
Your handicap is a key metric. Division I programs often recruit players with a handicap of +2 to 0, while Division II and NAIA programs may accept golfers with handicaps ranging from 0 to 4. Strong tournament results are essential at any level.
Golf recruitment happens very early. Start researching colleges and building your tournament resume in freshman or sophomore year. Contacting coaches and attending camps becomes crucial by your junior year at latest.
All student-athletes must evaluate their candidacy against their college goals. Identify gaps in your profile, and start buidlling your gameplan. For some candidates, the plan will revolve all about sport recruitment (athlete-first). For others, we take a comprehensive and combined approach to US college admissions, working on both academic and athletic fronts (scholar-athlete).
Map out key recruitment deadlines, showcase events and application milestones up to three or four years out. Strategic timing is crucial - great recruits take time to ensure quality across video creation, testing, interviews, and visits.
Navigate NCAA eligibility while building an academic profile that appeals to your target schools. Smart course selection, standardized test planning, and understanding school-specific pre-requisites can make the key difference in recruitment.
Develop a compelling athletic narrative through carefully selected footage, performance metrics, and achievement highlights. Presentation matters - coaches receive hundreds of profiles, and often don't know international systems.
Execute a targeted outreach strategy that gets noticed by the right programs. Timing, communication, and understanding each program's needs are essential. Building meaningful connections takes time and consistency.
College soccer has changed to the point where serious programs need to see you in real-life. So, maximize every interaction - from showcase events to campus visits and coach meetings. These moments determine your outcomes.
Balance athletic fit, academic opportunity, and program culture to make an informed decision. Consider playing time potential, scholarship, and development. Your choice shapes not just four years, but your future.
With offers in hand, you can select your best-fit college. Most recruits apply in the early round and sign the National Letter of Intent.
Typically, you’ll receive a final decision by December of your application year!

"We had eight schools come back to us overnight after my player profile was sent out to coaches - and that was places I never would have dreamed of, like Harvard, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth and obviously Berkeley."
